Comments on: Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2020/03/16/cheries-place-thought-for-the-week-542/ Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life… Tue, 12 May 2026 23:34:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: CherryPie http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2020/03/16/cheries-place-thought-for-the-week-542/comment-page-1/#comment-62543 CherryPie Sun, 22 Mar 2020 22:23:41 +0000 http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/?p=22647#comment-62543 Lovely thoughts Shabana :-) For now I will have to walk even closer to home than usual. People did not respect the gift of open spaces to walk in and abused it by congregating in masses (see my reply to The Yum List). I can walk locally but for now I think whereas normally I see hardly anyone I think that there will be more people. So for now I will be walking in my garden instead accompanied by my garden birds singing to me :-) Lovely thoughts Shabana :-) For now I will have to walk even closer to home than usual.

We have to practice social distancing (not getting close to others). Walking on this basis is encouraged as it it beneficial for health, the immune system and mental health. The National Trust and other organisations have closed their shops and houses but opened their grounds for free entry whilst the crisis is ongoing. This of course relies on people respecting the social distance rule. We are allowed to use personal transport to get to these places. I live in a relatively rural area but the same rules apply in the cities. London is the one most rife with Covid-19. Our government considered applying the most stringent rules to 'London only' for that reason but on balance it decided it best to apply the rules throughout England to mitigate the spread elsewhere.

We're not allowed out over here - only to get groceries or visit the doctor. I wish we could go outside for a walk. We’re not allowed out over here – only to get groceries or visit the doctor.

Now I can find any reference to that information on line. Only references to it might be coming soon...

The distance from others on our walks will be a challenge because we are naturally sociable people :-) I hope so too.
